Opera Europa is the leading service organisation for professional opera companies and opera festivals throughout Europe. It currently serves over 200 member companies from 44 different countries. Its main office is in Brussels, where it is registered as a non-profit cultural organisation in compliance with Belgian law. Its governing Board is made up of 18 members chosen from the general membership and elected for 3 year terms. An executive Director, a General Manager and a team of 7 are responsible for managing the organisation and responding to members’ needs.

Membership subscriptions are set by the full membership assembly and are presently €2,700 per calendar year, a rate that has been stable for ten years. This amount includes a varied set of online and live services. For companies without a theatre base, independent producers and ensembles, Opera Europa offers three additional membership schemes at different rates and services.
